Dear Friends,

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I hope this finds you and your families doing well.

Friends, as we go through this day, let us remember that we are not walking alone. That is, whatever today brings; whether it’s a joy or a challenge God is always with us, ready to give us strength, peace, and wisdom. So, take this opportunity to encourage someone with a kind word, a helping hand, or a simple act of love. That is, small acts of kindness can make a big difference. As the scripture says: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverb 3:5-6 NRSV)

Blessings and love,  Pastor Domingos F. Fernando
